And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 130
After coming to the Changlong County Government Office, Chen Yuan found that the Changlong County Government Office was also very dilapidated.

The Dengwen drum hanging outside the county government office has been woven into a net because no one has beaten it for a long time. In the gaps in the brick wall in front of the county government office, there are two foxtails swaying in the wind. Mottled and peeled off without repair.

It can be seen that the Changlong county government has not had people come to sue for a long time.

"Daoist, don't joke. Because of the locust plague, no people have come to the county government office for many days. Because the officials are worried about the locust plague, they rarely stay in the county government office, so it looks dilapidated."

After welcoming Chen Yuan into the county yamen, he asked the yamen to bring two dusty chairs. After finding a rag and wiping off the dust on the chairs for Chen Yuan himself, he asked the yamen to serve tea while inviting Chen Yuan sat down and explained the reason.

"My lord is worried about governing the people, but he is a responsible and good official."

Chen Yuan praised.

In a dynasty in the ancient world like Dayong, when disasters occurred in the local prefectures and counties, the people were already suffering.

If the officials do nothing, it will only make the suffering of the people even worse.

"The Daoist praised it absurdly. As a scholar, the lower official was valued by the imperial court. He was elected as an official by one of his parents. He dared not say some empty words to bring peace to all generations. He only wanted to let the tens of thousands of people under his rule live in peace. Just go down."

Hearing Chen Yuan's praise, a trace of shame flashed in Huang Datong's eyes.

After the two chatted for a while, Huang Datong stopped being polite, and ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and asked Chen Yuan to write the following, as if he was afraid that Chen Yuan would run away.

Chen Yuan did not refuse, and wrote a document for the people of Changlong County according to the previous agreement.

However, compared with the time of worshiping heaven, the "Tiangongshu" written by ordinary Taoist temples.

The document written by Chen Yuan is more straightforward, and there is no honorific language such as "knowing the grace of heaven and thanking the gods".

The document written by Chen Yuan is more like a letter written to a friend whom he has never met.

The beginning is: fulfill one's wish from the heart, follow the world with auspicious signs, although the grace of the gods is mighty, it depends on the people of the world to maintain it, the poor Daoist Qingming passed by Changlong County, and heard that the locust plague was raging, so he felt compassion...

Chen Yuan wrote in it the people in Changlong County who were suffering from the locust plague, and the tragedy he saw with his own eyes, and added his Taoist name, name, and character, asking the locust god to hold his hands high and postpone the disaster.

The documents written by Chen Yuan are neither long nor short, and there is not much respect for the Locust God in them.

After Chen Yuan wrote it, he handed it to Huang Datong, the county magistrate. After reading it, Huang Datong, the county magistrate, looked trembling.

Because according to the content written in this document, it is not like a sacrificial offering to the Locust God at all, but more like a document directly asking the Locust God to postpone the locust plague.

However, Huang Datong thought of what he said in his dream, so he could only choose to believe Chen Yuan.

"In this way, the next official will be completely relieved."

After receiving the document written by Chen Yuan, Huang Datong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know what your plan is next?"

Huang Datong asked Chen Yuan again.

"I have no plans. Pindao plans to stay in Changlong County for a few days. I also want to see who the god who gave the adults a dream is. I am even more curious about whether the document written by Pindao really works!"

Chen Yuan understood the meaning of Huang Datong's words, and he said to Huang Datong.

Huang Datong was probably afraid that after he left, he would not know whether the document written by Chen Yuan would be effective, so he hoped that Chen Yuan could stay in Changlong County for a few days.

In this way, he will have more confidence in his heart.

"Thank you Daoist, Daoist is merciful."

Hearing that Chen Yuan agreed to stay in Changlong County for a few days, Huang Datong said very happily.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, Pindao just wants to stay in Changlong County for a few more days."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"The next official will order someone to prepare a house for the Taoist priest."

Huang Datong left with a very happy expression, and went to the backyard to prepare a room for Chen Yuan.

Unlike most people who think that the county government office is only a place for hearing cases, in fact the county government office can also be lived in.

Especially for the newly appointed county magistrate, after taking office in an unfamiliar place, his family will move to the county government office.

The layout of the county government is that cases are heard in the front yard and people live in the back yard.

However, unless a case is being tried, the front yard of the county yamen is basically closed, and there is a special back door in the back yard. Generally, the magistrate and his relatives go out through the back door of the back yard of the county yamen.

Under the arrangement of Huang Datong, the magistrate, Chen Yuan was quickly arranged a guest room in the west wing in the backyard.

In the new place, Xue Niang and the little yellow dog were also released by Chen Yuan.

"Master Dao, is this your pet animal?"

After Huang Datong saw Chen Yuan being brought into the room by himself, he immediately took off the sword case and the bag on his back, and released two furry little things from the bag, looking at him with bright eyes.

"Yes, they are all pet animals raised by Pindao."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"The Taoist priest is not a mortal, even the pets he raises are very special."

Seeing Xueniang the size of a civet cat, Huang Datong praised it.

It was the first time in his life that he saw such a big mouse, and its hair was all white, and its whole body was snow-white, full of aura.

As a result, Chen Yuan stayed in the county government office and talked with Huang Datong, the county magistrate, during the day to learn about the disaster situation of the people in Changlong County.

In the evening, he continued to practice, and in the state of meditation, the Yuanshen went out, and the Yuanshen flew in the night sky, overlooking the entire Changlong County.

As Huang Datong, the county magistrate, said, the situation in Changlong County is not optimistic. Not only the crops in the fields have been destroyed on a large scale.

Even many trees in the forest are being eaten by locusts.

Moreover, according to what Chen Yuan saw with his own eyes, this locust plague was not only in Changlong County, but part of the two counties around Changlong County, Jianye County and Shangyuan County, were invaded by locust plagues.

According to Chen Yuan's more scientific method in his previous life, the occurrence of locust plagues is due to the drought, the water level of the river drops, the soil moisture decreases and the soil becomes more solid, and the vegetation on the ground is relatively sparse, making it easier for locusts to lay eggs and hatch in large areas.

But these are all the sayings of the previous life. In this world after time travel, there are heavenly gods and ghosts below.

Gods and ghosts control mortals in every aspect of life, aging, sickness and death.

So this plague of locusts was essentially caused by the locust god, the evil god.

The one who entrusted the dream to the magistrate of Changlong County will ask him to ask for a document from Chen Yuan and burn it to the Locust God.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon the magistrate of Changlong County was about to set up a statue of the Locust God in a gazebo ten miles north of the city to burn the documents written by Chen Yuan.

On this day, the magistrate of Changlong County did not disturb other people. He only invited some big households in Changlong County, and led more than ten officials from the county government to the pavilion ten miles north of the city. A one-foot-high statue of the locust god is enshrined on the tribute table, and incense candles are lit after the worship.

Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, directly lit the document written by Chen Yuan with a candle, and burned it in the brazier placed in front of the altar, waiting anxiously for the result.

But what surprised Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, and the big government officials standing next to him was that after burning this document, there was no response.

Just when these big household officials suspected that Huang Datong, the county magistrate, said that the god-man entrusting dreams was just a coincidence.

The county magistrate Huang Datong himself was also uneasy.

From a far fork in the road, came a beggar woman over half a century old with a wooden stick, disheveled hair and dirty body.

"It's really ridiculous. Some people think that burning a document written by Wuming Xiaodao can save the entire Changlong County from the locust plague!"

The beggar woman walked to the altar to worship the locust god, looked at what the group of people did and sneered.
